Among the beds on the northern wall of the garden is a plaque commemorating the men and women of Dacorum who served in the South East Asia Command and to the Burma Star Association, in memory of those who died in the Far East in World War Two.

The garden is the location of Hemel Hempstead’s original Bury House and it is claimed that King Henry VIII stayed there with Anne Boleyn. All that remains of the house today is the Charter Tower.
